Will I be able to use my prepaid load when I replace my SIM?

Will my roaming service stay active when I replace my SIM?
For both postpaid and prepaid, your roaming service will remain active even after SIM replacement and should not be affected.
Will my GCash wallet stay active when I replace my SIM?
Since the GCASH wallet is linked to your mobile number, there should be no problems for new SIM requests with the same number.
If you got a new SIM card with a different number, register for a new GCash account. Then, submit a new ticket to request for the transfer of your available balance and other records (GInsure, GInvest, GCredit, and Save Money).
- For 'Concern category’ choose:
My GCash Account → I still have funds on my old lost sim, kindly transfer to my new number
- Make sure to list all the GCash financial products and services you are subscribed to for transferring and linking to your new GCash account.
- You'll be required to provide an affidavit of defective/expired/lost SIM if your old number was not verified.
- You'll receive a confirmation email regarding the status of your request within 48 hours.
- After 48 hours, you may also proceed with fully verifying your new number in-app to access your funds.
Will the settings on my iPhone be retained when I replace my SIM?
Your iPhone settings will be restored to its default settings once you use the new SIM. This includes your Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Network. As a result, certain applications and system updates may run again and incur charges. Please check the settings of your phone again to make sure that your preferred settings are active.
Will my promos be retained when I replace my SIM?
Yes, your promo will remain active as long as the registration is not yet expired. This applies to all promos you are registered to prior to SIM replacement.
Note that requirements for continuous prepaid roaming service still apply (i.e., maintaining balance).
